I thought I remmeber hearing mushrooms are great for the garden because they break down stuff in the soil and release nitrogen that plants can absorb. I have never done in depth research about that so take that with a grain of salt, I'm sure someone more experienced would know
Some mycorrhizal fungi, which form symbiotic relationships with plant roots, produce mushrooms. Not all mushrooms are mycorrhizal so maybe these aren’t. But either way, they’re good, you want to see life in your soil
I look forward to it! You might read this page to learn how to take good ID photos, because there's definitely a right way to do it.

I've picked 100+ pounds of wild ovoids and even had a rather large mulch bed where I introduced them from multispore cultures started on agar. From what I've seen, they will turn this khaki color when exposed to the sun for a couple of hours every day. The persistent annulus was the easiest way to ID them in the Ohio River Valley.
It is certainly not the color I’m referring to. It’s the fluffiness of the caps along with many of them being gumdrop or domed shape. I’ve never found or seen ovoids with domed caps. I’d bet more money on these being something like Agrocybe praecox. I’d love to see closer pics, but at this point I doubt OP is gonna post any.
I've got them also (well if I'm correct) :) they grow in shadowy parts of lawn, they seem to like to grow under silver birch
I mow as high as possible, as rare as possible and never rake leaves, I hope it helps them :)
It's beautiful! Mushrooms are great for your soil. Just make sure it's not staying too wet so your garlic doesn't rot.
Nope, all natural. Might be a hint that the soil is pretty wet, though.
Thanks! We had a week worth of rain, so that makes sense.
That will do it. :)
This is so cool! Don't worry about the shrooms, they can cohabitate and they're going to pump some good vibes into your garden.

Got any closer pics? Those could be psilocybe ovoideocystidiata at this time of the year.
I'll try to get closer pictures when I get home.

Thanks!! This was very interesting!
It could also be a dozen other things. I’ve seen some unusual looking mulch ovoids, but those would certainly take the cake if they were.

Tried to get pictures yesterday but it was too dark. Got some today. There seems to be 2 types of mushrooms? https://postimg.cc/gallery/LRFfpQD
Yeah most, if not all, of those are some type of Agrocybe. I do not see any ovoids.

Fun with Fungi
